Chapter 31 – Getting Started (2)

“I still love you~”

In the car on her way back to work, Hayeon Hyun liked the guide song so much that she put it on repeat and memorized the lyrics.

As she listened to it several times, the lyrics caught her ear even without looking at them, and the feeling was different from the lyrics Han Jeong-suk had written so far.
Unlike the existing wistful or sad lyrics, it was full of bloody lyrics.

The song expresses how she feels when she sees a man who cares more about other women than himself. There are no direct expressions, but if you think about it carefully, the lyrics give you goosebumps.

It was lyrics written by Han Jeong-sook.

The composition of the song, with a calm first half and a strong sound from the chorus, was reminiscent of ballads that were popular in the 2000s.

Recently, the public, tired of the ballads that come out as if they were printed on a copy machine, has started looking for old classics.

I think Hyeon Ha-yeon’s positive elements will create synergy, and we can expect pretty good results.

I had no idea that Hyeon Hayeon, who sat in the passenger seat and hummed the song while reading the lyrics, would like the song so much.

I wondered if it was good because it was her own song, but as she kept making exclamations and reading her lyrics, it seemed like there was something about it.

After all, is it because of first love?

I must have been staring too hard, so my eyes met Hyeon Hayeon’s.

“···What’s wrong?”

“···No”

As I turned my head to avoid Hyeon Hayeon’s gaze, her signal changed.
As she increased her speed, she recalled the conversation from earlier.

“···What kind of person is your first love?”

“···Yes?”

“The composer asked me a while ago, so I was wondering if there was a connection…”

“Hmm… It’s really cool.”

“···Really?”

“Yes! He is very kind… And seems to be very popular.”

He’s cool, caring, and popular. There’s no way there’s a man like that in the world…

It is clear that he is a playboy disguised as kindness.

“···Amazing”

“That’s right! It’s so amazing!”

When she saw Hyeon Hayeon smiling brightly and pouring out compliments, she could feel how much she liked it.
If you like someone like that, you will definitely have a hard time…

I prayed that Hayeon would not be hurt because she felt like her younger sister.
If Hyeon is kind and attractive, she will definitely be able to win love.
···If you do not awaken as a hero

[♬~♫~♬]

[I hope you don’t regret it…]

The song playing from the speakers ended.

The next song stopped playing and waited for the representative’s reaction.

“···”

Han Jeong-sook handed over her song to the USB, telling her to listen to it with CEO Choi.
I printed out the lyrics prepared in advance and gave them to him, and CEO Choi looked at the lyrics for a long time even after the song was over.

“Hmm…”

CEO Choi ordered the song to be played again and glanced at the lyrics alternately between me and Hyeon Hayeon, who were sitting across from us.

Only after the song ended did CEO Choi open his mouth.

“What did the title say?”

“···He said he didn’t come up with a title and told me to come up with one myself.”

“Mmmm…”

She looked at Hyeon Hayeon and me alternately, touching her chin as if she was thinking of an appropriate title.
Why does this guy keep looking at me?

“Um… So, what about ‘Pure Love’?”

“···Are you talking about the title?”

Who said he was a man in his 50s, and he had no sense in naming names.

It’s not the 90s, what is pure love…

“And! CEO! I think it’s perfect!”

···Huh?

“···Right? Are you okay?”

“It goes well with the song!”

“As expected, Hayeon has a sense! “You’re such an artist!”

The CEO laughed and continued to praise Hyeon Ha-yeon, as if he was satisfied.

Hyeon Ha-yeon suddenly came in and surprised me.

She seemed to really like the title ‘Pure Love’ and was so impressed that she even wrote it down as the title in a corner of the paper with the lyrics written on it.

Suddenly, I’m living a social life here… Even though it’s my own song…

“… How about listening to other employees’ stories?”

“Yes? .··Are you not very good?”

“… Wouldn’t it be better to listen to the opinions of the majority?”

“Pure love is good…”

I tried to ignore Hyeon Ha-yeon, who was expressing a small opinion, and decided to simply record Hyeon Ha-yeon’s version in response to my strong argument and get votes from the music staff.

The CEO gave us a USB containing the song, telling us to go down first and practice with the recording team.

The CEO saw the door closing and spoke cautiously.

“···So Han Jeong-suk received what I sent?”

“···Yes, he looked very happy.”

The CEO took a deep sigh and spoke to me as if he had gathered his thoughts.

“How are you doing with Lee Ji-yeon these days?”

“···Do you mean Mr. Jiyeon?”

The CEO who listened to my answer shook his head and said.

“Tsk, tsk… You, if you do that, you could end up in real trouble…”

“Do you know how long I will watch Lee Ji-yeon hang around with those two? He turns 30 the day after tomorrow! At least stamp it! “I’m really because of her… Oh, no… No!”

“… I will behave well.”

I just gave a half-hearted response to the CEO who was nagging me without knowing whether it was advice or complaints.

When Hyeon Hayeon and Baek Ga-eun were brought in, it seemed that Lee Ji-yeon had gone relatively quietly, and it seems she has personally called on the CEO.
She seemed to be very stressed and had a lot of accumulated dissatisfaction.

“Please go visit me and go on a date, okay?!”

“… I will take note of it.”

After pouring out his complaints, the CEO took a breath and spoke in a subdued tone.

“… By the way, do you have a passport?”

“… Are you talking about a passport? There is none…”

“···I see, ···Okay, you worked hard, so let’s go”

“···Yes”

As if I was done with my business, I left the representative’s office at the representative’s order to congratulate the guests.

*

I had to write a report related to Hyeon Ha-yeon’s activities.

When I went to take a quick look at Hyeon Ha-yeon, she was already talking to the recording team.

I made some coffee to cheer up and returned to my seat.

I might leave work late today. I wanted to…

“Are you late?”

Jiyeon Lee was sitting in my seat.

“···Why are you here?”

Jiyeon Lee came up to me, patted her collar and looked at me.

“Do you want to keep doing this when there’s no one in the office?”

“···”

Right across the street, a female employee was working with her head down.
Contrary to her harsh words, she seemed to be in a good mood, smiling brightly with her eyes.

Recently, the goddess told me to be careful of Jiyeon Lee, so I went to see Jiyeon Lee whenever I had time, but she was only attracted to Jeonggi.
In any case, it ultimately helped Jiyeon Lee manage her stress.
So she must have been quietly going about her schedule recently.
But today I didn’t have time to deal with her.

“···I’m a bit busy today.”

“···When was there a day when you weren’t busy?”

“… There is a report to write…”

“Do you keep throwing up?”

“···”

It seemed like he was really offended that he cut me off with a straight face.

However, she quickly relaxed her expression and spoke with a grin.
···Have you ever seen Lee Ji-yeon in such a good mood recently?

“I have to go shopping”

“···Please be careful”

“···I’m working outside, follow me”

Jiyeon Lee respected the things I did.

That’s why she was able to take charge of Shining Boys and recruit Baek Ga-eun and Hyeon Hayeon.
···It’s just that countless Lee Ji-yeon collections are being held hostage

Seeing her come out like this, I don’t know what she’ll do if I don’t follow her.
It is beneficial to get along well and work together.

“···Where do you go shopping?”

“Um… Department store?”

There is more work to do.

*

“Which is prettier, this or this?”

I was embarrassed by Lee Ji-yeon, who flashed her bikini to me even though the clerk was there.

“···This way”

One side was a bikini with very small fabric and thin strings, and the other side was a regular bikini.

Of course, the general one was much better.

“Give me this, sister.”

“Try it on once…”

“Then I’ll try it on.”

This time, I ignored my opinion and chose clothes.

When Jiyeon Lee entered the dressing room, she and the clerk were the only ones in the store.
It wasn’t my first time coming to a store full of women’s underwear, but I felt embarrassed for no reason.

The plan to go shopping with her was already ruined, and there was no stopping Lee Ji-yeon from going around the store.

Normally, I would have used special stores, but today, for some reason, regular stores were being swept.

[Tiring-]

A message came from Jiyeon Lee who was changing her clothes.
I opened it to see what was going on, and there were several pictures full of flesh color.

She was startled and covered the screen, and when she looked closely, she saw that a thin string was crossing her skin, barely holding the fabric.

[How about this?]

She responded roughly to the message that followed, saying it was pretty, and deleted the photos.

After a while, she came out of her dressing room and said that she liked it, so she ended up buying a bikini that couldn’t even be called a swimsuit.

“Um… Let’s go over there”

“···”

I already had a lot of luggage in my hands.

Even though summer hasn’t arrived yet, I was buying various summer items.

Most of them were thin and the fabric area was very small.

“Okay, since it’s hard, let’s just buy one suitcase and be done with it.”

I hated Lee Ji-yeon, who dragged me along, telling me to buy just one last thing, as if to comfort me.

Jiyeon Lee, who picked the main displayed product and dragged it once or twice, handed me her handle and said,

“This is good, try it out”

“···Why am I dragging this on?”

“Don’t you?”

I couldn’t stand Lee Ji-yeon, who was looking at me with a straight face.

She was so exhausted by the long shopping trip that she decided to follow her intention in silence.
After putting the luggage down and pulling it a few times, it was pretty good.

Expensive is good.

“···Good”

“Please give me this.”

This time, I bought a suitcase after hearing that it was okay.

···For her income, she spent it frugally, but by my standards, it was truly extravagant.

“It’s hard to lift this, so I’ll pull it.”

“… Thank you.”

Jiyeon Lee heading to the parking lot with her suitcase was so disgusting.

I headed to Jiyeon Lee’s house to carry her luggage as she had no schedule.

*

“Oh, Mr. Choin, did you hear that you have to renew your employee ID card today?”

“···Is it renewal date already?”

He threw Ji-yeon Lee and ran away to the company, trying to grab her to take a rest.
After she barely sat down, she told me to go to her in-house studio to renew her employee ID.

“The photographer hasn’t gotten off work yet, so go take a picture.”

“···Yes”

In the end, as soon as she sat down, she started to put off more and more useless things.

After some time, a passport was left at my seat.
